Clinical Trial Summary

The declining physical condition of frail elderly is becoming an ugent problem. Although the exercise intensity of Wu Qin Xi appears to be low, it is highly effective in the older individuals. Inspired by the characteristics and functions of Wu Qin Xi, we designed a brand new exercise intervention training program among frail older people, which incorporates Wu Qin Xi, strength exercises and endurance exercises to improve physical fitness, and even reverse the condition of frailty. Furthermore, to improve utility in clinical practice, we innovatively employed machine learning simulations to infer the condition of older adults and predict their level of frailty after the intervention.

Intervention

Behavioral:
Wu Qin Xi exercise
The training schedule for Wu Qin Xi consisted of two phases: the first phase lasted for eight weeks, while the second phase lasted for 16 weeks. In the first phase, Wu Qin Xi group was given twice repetitions of the intervention. The second phase consisted of three repetitions of the Wu Qin Xi group. Participants warmed up for 20 min prior to the intervention and cooled down for 10 min at the end.
Wu Qin Xi, resistance training and endurance training
During the first 8 weeks, the training consists of learning and consolidating the movements of the Wu Qin Xi. In the second 16 weeks, participants perform a full set of movement exercises. Each resistance training session contained two lower-body exercises (seated calf raises and hip abduction) and three upper-body exercises (lateral pull downs, biceps curls, and triceps push downs) and two sets for each exercise. Endurance training is performed by continuous walking on an undisturbed indoor track for 15 min. Participants warmed up for 20 min prior to the intervention and cooled down for 10 min at the end.
